hi Susan,
well, I'm glad you're back now & reading & answering messages.I think you're too hard on yourself! I believe you when you say that you have a smart, sophisticated, wordly side -- I think we all have such a side of our personality. That's not hard to believe!
I don't know how to help, although I want to. Maybe that's the reason why some people do't respond to certain threads. For me, I often read people's threads and say to myself, "Wow, I really feel for that person, but I have no idea what advice to offer...so I just won't say anything." There are so many situations that I just have no idea -- I want to be supportive, but I don't want to waste someone's 'reading time' by writing something that's not really helpful. Keep writing your posts...don't give up...you'll get back in the swing of things soon!
I agree that it's hard to find 'true' friends, whether it's in IRL or here on Babble, or anywhere else. To me, sometimes it seems that everyone else is part of some big happy club and I'm the only outsider, sadly looking in...then I realize that EVERYONE has that 'outsider' feeling sometimes.
Anyway, I hope you're doing well.
take care!JenStar
